A large number of experts believe that the biggest cause of accidents
on the highways is speed differential.  For example, a Trabant leaps
into the left lane to pass but he's passing at 70mph while you in your
shiny new NSX are closing in a 140mph.  Your risk of an accident is
very high in this case.


Everyone should travel at the same sppeed for maximum safety.
